"When you told James that Toledo of the Sabbat was your business." Oz Cozier glanced at Zach, "I thought you were going to handle these Gangeros yourself." However, Since he expressed his doubts in this statement, it means that he is not a mind-reader.
It's not that Oz didn't read it, it's that Zach didn't let him read anything. There is nothing to be vigilant about, and under absolute safety, our vampire naturally controls his blood flow and reduces the flow to the brain... Don't doubt it, Zach can do it, and the side effect is just that his thinking is a bit... Just slow.
After all, no one likes to have a guy who can use his brain as a book to read by his side all the time.
Speaking of absolute safety, they are now at the door of a hotel sandwiched between bars. What is safe is not this place, but the direction Zach looks from the door - the Hayate couple, yes, the Hayate couple, and there are a few more behind them. A hunter, Zach asked, "How is the situation up there?"
Sibera's face was not very good, "Although it was deliberately processed, we still found some traces, such as blood stains under the floor, traces of fighting, etc. And Ganggro also left some traces deliberately for his companions to discover. Clues, plus, hum, if what you said is right, it’s Gangaro and the two Sabbat Toredos, then their movement direction can only be to the east of the backlight, the clues are enough for us to continue tracking.” As he spoke, he waved to the hunters behind him, gesturing for them to chase him, and handed Zach a piece of clothing-like material.
Zach took it and saw some hairs stuck on it. After a little distinguishing, he concluded that these were bat and wolf hairs. It seems that this is the clue Gangluo left for his companions.
"Then we don't have to go." Zach smiled and waved his hand, "Just wait here. The two people from Sabbat Toledo injured the 'General', and were attacked by four descendants of Thomas. Two more people could be seriously injured. One escaped, two half-assed gangeros, there is no hope."
Sibera frowned, "Then I won't let my hunters face danger." She waved back the hunters who were about to follow, "Set a trap here. Our target is only Gangaro, the Sabbat Of the two, huh, let him handle it by himself."
Zach just smiled and turned to Oz without saying anything. "I'm handling it personally, I just thought..." He smiled at Sibella, "The hunters are bound by the hostage exchange agreement in Barton, I'm afraid it will It’s so boring. Find them something to do and move their bodies.”
Please explain the current situation.
Thoughtful After James left, Zach cleaned up two piles of Gangaro's 'remains' and headed to Paisying. By the way, I temporarily put Amelia and Wales back in Kozier's store to keep Mo company while he was still dealing with explosives. At the same time, Oz did not clearly say why he wanted to go with Zach, but Zach would not refuse Oz as a free driver.
After arriving at Paisiying, Zach acted directly as if he had been invited. Under the watchful eyes of a bunch of Indian hunters, he walked into Sibella's living room and told a slightly tortuous story. "There are some unpopular vampires in Barton who are acting recklessly. If your profession is not completely rusty, how about we go and see it together" successfully incited the hunters with itchy hands. Finally, we came to Becky.
From the two Gangeros who had turned to ashes, the mind-reader Oz already knew where these Gangeros were hiding, but at the same time he knew that they were searching for Becky's vampire to steal food. So our combination of vampire Zach, plus a mind reader, and an Indian hunter unexpectedly failed.
Then Zach's foresight in getting a bunch of Indian hunters showed.
"Gangero is a vampire group that is difficult to track in the wild because they can blend into animals." A hunter explained kindly. "But in the city, especially during the day, they are asking for death. The human form is too fragile for them, and the animal form is strong and convenient enough. But when there are people around, the body of a wolf or bat It’s too conspicuous, so they have to switch forms frequently, leaving behind... "
The homeless man who was inexplicably stripped naked and the clothes randomly stuffed in the trash can...
Don't think it's ridiculous, that's how Zach and the others found this hotel. You have to know that hunters who hunt animals in the forest rely on the footprints and animal excrement in dead branches and leaves to find prey, which is comparable to finding naked bodies in the city. It's much harder for homeless people.
Of course, there is also some auxiliary information. For example, the grocery store near this street was ransacked of cans in the early hours of this morning. Some weak and hard-working workers provided information about the unpleasant business they received last night. of.
"Uh..." Zach looked at an Indian hunter passing by him with some kind of mechanism-like thing, "You know if you use this kind of thing, I won't do it at all." Zach said When saying this, he also moved slightly away from the other party.
It was a trap that could fire a silver net in a fan-shaped direction in a certain direction. Zach was right. If there was one of these things in front of him, a guy like Zach who could 'scratch' the enemy completely close to him would be useless.
"You're not needed!" the other party replied with a corner of his lips, ignoring Zach.
"Look." Zach looked back at Oz and shook his head, "They need to move, otherwise, who knows who these turtles will vent their excessive energy on."
Another hunter walked past Zach and began to post some glass vials painted in brick color on the wall in the alley. Zach frowned and retreated to the inside of the hotel. It was a gunpowder bottle with an Indian formula. Judging from the speed and frequency of the hunter's sticks, once it was ignited, the alley would be an elongated incinerator. Zach definitely didn't want to be there.
"It's a little too grand..." Zach curled his lips and looked at Sibella, who was also standing inside the door, directing the hunters, "Don't you think it's just a few gangeros."
"Five." Sibera replied tonelessly and glanced at Oz, "If your information is accurate."
"Accurate." Oz answered. It seems that they are guys who don't like to be questioned.
"Gangro's transformation ability is very troublesome. The burst of wolf form and the flexibility of bat form are both threats. Even if you say that they have a poor grasp of Gangro's ability, we can't give them any chance," Sibei La frowned and looked at the blurred neon light outside the street. "Instant kill." Then he took out a bottle of potion and swallowed it.
We have seen this potion. Chapman once drank a bottle given by Maggie, isolated.
"Although you think there is no chance that the two people who went after Sabbat Toledo will come back, the time they met was during the day, when Sabbat Toledo was weak. I am not prepared to take any chances. And..."
Zach found that all the hunters had taken out the same potion, and even Oz was handed a bottle by Sibella.
Sibella continued, "Even if we don't guard against the return of Gangro, we must guard against the return of the two Sabbat Toredos. They were treated and recuperated here, and then they were discovered. According to what you said, they were encountered all night long. Spent among the vampires, the 'General' in the southeast, Gangaro in Ixton in the south. And finally to Bechi.
If they had a little bit of wisdom, they would have discovered that the 'general' in the southeast was your man, Toledo, who was the essential reason for their presence in Patton. But the bar is a gang stronghold, and the General's stronghold. At the same time, they deliberately let the General go to find you last night. They obviously have any plans, and I don't care.
Ixton Gangero in the South District are descendants of Thomas and have their own villa. This should be a situation that really surprises Sabbat Toledo. Let them discover that Barton has other vampire forces, and then the situation of dealing with you, Toledo, will start to become complicated. But hum. That's Saint Sissi's villa. I saw some of the things she did in Republic..." Sibella suddenly stopped and clicked her tongue, as if she didn't want to talk more about Republic, so she skipped it.
"Having fought against Ixton's Gangero, they should naturally have experience. Ixton's Gangero is not that easy to deal with. Before you know the relationship between you, Toledo, and Gangero, They should be cautious. In the end, Becky is the only one here."
Sibella shook her head, "We know that these are the remnants of the Fight Club. Gangaro was ignored by Thomas, but Toledo, the Sabbat who just came to Barton, couldn't possibly know that Gangaro, who obviously hates civilization, but There is no meeting with the Gangero in Ixton, and he relies on standing-street-women to hunt in the most mixed place of urban civilization. That is obvious enough. The Gangero here in Becky is the most vulnerable point for Barton to suck blood. It would be the wisest choice to turn back and break through from Becky, and get the status of the Barton vampires at the same time."
It seems reasonable, but we know that Robert doesn't think so. Rather than finding out about Barton's vampire power in Becky, which is risky, he feels that directly isolating Barton's vampire attacks - a common problem among the thirteen clans and the Indian industry Invitation rules, be smarter. Why should I explain for Robert! Just ignore it.
Zach listened to what Sibella said and thought about it with his slow brain for a long time before suddenly raising his eyebrows. This situation was a bit... Zach tilted his head and looked at Sibella, "You... want me to As bait?”
The effect of isolation, as mentioned before, is to block all the breath of a person. Now that the hunters are completely hiding themselves, the meaning is very obvious. They are not preparing for a frontal attack but a complete ambush.
"Otherwise?" Sibera frowned and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "These Gangeros are the remnants of the club. Now aren't they trying to find Barton's vampires? You said it yourself. If those left to the companions If our clues didn’t lead them here, it’s up to you, a vampire from Barton, to lead them here!”
Before Sibera finished speaking, "If Toledo from the Sabbat comes back, hum, that would be even better. You, their essential target, stand here, and you are not afraid that they will not come in!"
While saying this, Sibera continued to direct the hunter to lay out the trap that forced Zach to continue to retreat, trying to avoid the trap on the roof.
Oh, the owner of this hotel was sleeping in a certain room, unaware that his hotel had been transformed into a killer trap that only vampires could enter and cannot escape.
After the first man holding a woman with heavy makeup was chased away by the Indian bodyguards at the hotel door, Zach and Oz were already standing on the roof of the hotel, looking down at the neon lights below. The trap is set, but the prey comes quickly. Zach really didn't know how long he would have to stand here with his brain dull.
But Zach doesn’t regret finding Sibella, because—
A trace of black passed before their eyes. As soon as they hit the ground, the dark red wrinkles lit up, and a ribbon-shaped spell suddenly rose from the ground, and was drawn horizontally towards Gangro, whose body had just begun to squirm and deform! The body that was flying rapidly was suddenly bounced off the roof of the building and penetrated by silver light, making no sound at all. When the huge bear trap-like thing was submerged in the shadows of the ground again, the things it captured had turned to gray and dissipated in the neon-rendered wind.
Gangro came, this was just the first one, approaching from above.
"I understand." Oz suddenly spoke next to Zach, "The reason why you found these hunters."
Zach was motionless. He was watching when Sibera set up the witchcraft trap. He couldn't move. If he moved, he would say goodbye to this world. But he still responded to Oz's words, "What do you understand?"
"You want me, a partner of the Sabbat, to see Barton's power." Oz replied. At the same time, there was a slight sound of a machine downstairs, and red light flashed in the neon-dazzled space. The burning crackling sound only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared in the enthusiastic Becky.
This is the second one, a Gangero that is stupid enough to walk through the main entrance.
"Do you understand now?" Zach said expressionlessly, "If you still don't understand, I will ask you to read my mind."
Don’t forget that Ozzie Cozier is a Sabbat partner from the west, a Sabbat man who spans the entire federation and comes to the small city of Barton! He is here to work for the Sabbat! The Sabbat has special plans for Barton...
No matter what the plan is! Zach first lets them see Barton's local power! Let them consider whether Barton is so easy to mess with!
"Haha, don't you dare..." Oz smiled and shook his head in the night wind. Of course he could only say this, although he had tried countless times, "If you stay with Lesembula long enough, you will I know they hate others speculating on their thinking. I still feel a little bit conscious when I find that you are very similar to them."
"Really." Zach turned his head. In the air, silver threads were coiling and chasing a black figure that wanted to stay away. "What makes you think so? In my memory, the Thirteen Clans are still Before they split into the Secret and the Sabbat, the relationship between Toledo and Lesembra was just average, very average, so average that they didn’t even want to have contact with each other, and I have no opinion on their character.”
"This is mutual." Oz followed Zach's gaze and looked at the figure being chased by silver wire in the air, "So you are in different alliances." After being caught up, have you seen any fireworks? , this is the inverse display of fireworks, with the scattered fireworks trajectories converging toward the center, converging, descending, and disappearing.
"Oh." Zach withdrew his gaze, "What about that? I guess what you saw in Barton should be reported back to the Sabbat."
"Unfortunately, that's the case." Oz's face was serious, as if he was carefully considering his next words, "I will report back to the Sabbat that the plan to enter must be postponed. The power of wizards and hunters in Barton is too threatening. huge."
Entering Patton? Zach, who was a little slow, waited for a while and then raised his eyebrows, just in time to meet the other person's continued after waiting attentively.
"However, James and I's plan, because it is only an action on human society, will not have any impact..." Oz continued before Zach could respond, "But James' progress is too much." Behind the curve, I had a very bad time in the Barton Police Department. I didn’t even know the members of several families in the West District, and my relationship with the higher-ups in the department was also very bad. My advice would be to wait patiently, at least this time the mayor In the election, don’t expect James to achieve anything.”
What? (.)
